Help with 346xp

[Ratman]

 
I will replace parts 1-6 with a new 21BPX chain and 15inch bar. 
 
That should keep me going till winter when stubby will port the saw for me.

Don't forget in rim sprockets there are small and large sized Rim sprockets(346 is small)Number 5 needs reg greasing.

To get clutch off something like a punch or smallish cold chisel theres the ones that end with a small flat tip or chisel with a blunt/flat on it.On face of clutch theres a recess says Off by it place chosen object in/around recess and a smart whack on it with hammer to the right/forward undoes it.

Often esp if not sure on history or if worn/bearing dry! to replace Bearing.Rim sprocket and Drum as a kit in one As often because need to remove clutch as outboard the bearing don't see much grease!

Does anything else need greasing besides number 5?

Maybe your Nuts?.Rake bar clean if using old one.in Sharpening kit there is a tool for it but something that will run down slot in bar will do as need to clean old saw dust n crap out of there plus can clean n grease sprocket on end of bar if has a G port?

I clean/rake out round end of groove and sprocket gap as bits get wedged in there moving sprocket back n forth till looks clear heavy oil in there helps bearing if no grease port.

 

to check bar specs re gauge n pitch should be stamped just outside where fixing point is.

clean air filter!

any particular grease?

[Ratman]

A high temp lithium based grease should be fine
